Holiday Lights, a Holidays Evening Experience

An Evening of Glowing Wonder

Make the season unforgettable with your signature night out.

Stroll beneath illuminated trees, step into a magical tunnel of lights, and explore gardens that glow with festive brilliance.

End the evening fireside with mulled wine, handcrafted cocktails, and seasonal treats, as music and holiday cheer fill the crisp night air. From romantic walks to joyful gatherings, Holiday Lights at Filoli is where winter nights truly shine.
